Top 128 at my first ever regional

Deck ran really smooth, sky seal stone was a dead card for almost all my rounds but I also never played against mew. Definitely won’t be the last regional I attend this season

@StuartPTCG @kampen_jelle All fun and games until you realize that one key basic AND your heavy ball were prized

legitimately getting to the point where the negativity surrounding Overwatch is more tiresome than the design/balance mistakes that lead to the negativity.

I'm constantly critical of the bad, I also praise the good. I also enjoy playing the game a lot. I'm also optimistic about the direction of the game, even if it's 3 steps forward, two back.

yesterday's patch is a great example. Yeah, Juno is too weak. Yeah the Sombra/Mercy stuff is pretty aimless/weird, but I really feel like the Sojourn stuff is extremely promising, and I love the experimentation with LW/Kiriko, too. It was a flawed, but overall decent patch. I'm having fun playing the game. I'm looking forward to the 6v6 test. I'm excited for upcoming experimentation of other systems, and I've got a million content pieces I'm looking forward to putting together. Oh yeah, and Juno may be weak but I've really enjoyed playing her the last 24 hours.

Passion /=/ low-effort critique or emotional outburst. If I hated the game and had no faith in the devs, I'd quit. I'm not going to beat the definition of insanity by farming clout by "OVERWATCH IS BAD" for the umpteenth time, especially when that has a heavy impact on community perception. I literally have people in my DMs who enjoy the game, but are getting burned out because someone is telling them the game is bad.

The worst part about it, is it's poisoning the well of legitimate criticism overall. Any opportunity to offer legitimate criticism to the development is, once again, poisoned because people are constantly angry, and so all the valuable criticisms are lost in a well of emotion. And because emotion gets attention on Twitter/YT, the behavior is reinforced, and so the cycle continues.

Heck, we're so angry at Overwatch, we're not critiquing Marvel Rivals (a game with immense potential) to the point it deserves. It NEEDS a critical eye, and folks are completely missing the opportunity to give it valuable criticism because "haha better than overwatch."

This whole counter-culture nonsense when it's cool to thoughtlessly hate to "beat the shills," is reaching political-fervor level nonsense, and it's exhausting to have these conversations over YT/Twitch constantly the past year. If you're upset at the game, it's time to move on, because your opinion is no longer in good faith, whether purposefully or not.

maybe i'll make a video about this soon, tired of all the work I put into thoughtful/creative criticism getting lumped into lazy hate, and the praise I give getting lumped into blizzard shill. It's frustrating, but not surprising, that people are completely incapable of understanding nuance, and would rather turn their brains completely off.

So how did Audrey and I end up experiencing the incredible kindness and generosity of being gifted Game 4 Stanley Cup final tickets in Edmonton?

The best part about the Oilers making the SCF is watching the endless amount of salt pouring out of Vancouver
